Marine Blue
"Marine Blue" is based on a photo I took off the Atlantic Ocean on Long Island. I grew up on the East Coast and our very rare summer journeys to the Jersey Shore left such magical memories. It is why I live near the coast in Cardiff. That little girl now has that magical feeling on a daily basis and I am so very thankful.
The painting uses acrylic modeling paste to sculpt the forms first, then I layer acrylic paint over that. Finally, I use local beeswax as a "varnish" to protect the piece, add an additional layer of texture, and to mimic the wax used in our surf culture on their boards.

Bio
<p>Angela Jackson is an award-winning, mixed media artist and art educator who has exhibited in many group and solo shows throughout the United States and abroad. Her artworks are held in private collections, both nationally and internationally. She is inspired by the beauty and therapeutic aspects of the ocean, which are expressed in her paintings.</p>
<p>Originally from Pennsylvania, Angela grew up two blocks from the Susquehanna River and she has felt the need to live close in proximity to water ever since. Her understanding of our attraction to bodies of water was reinforced reading Dr. Wallace J. Nichols’ book, Blue Mind, in which he discusses the neuroscience behind our connection to all things water. Now living in Cardiff, she enjoys daily walks on the beach and absorbing all the sights, sounds and smells of the Pacific Ocean.<br>Angela creates art out of her studio in Cardiff, CA and teaches Visual Art at San Dieguito Academy in Encinitas, CA. </p>
